DIY Car Interior Cleaning Wipes
A two-ingredient cleaning solution that turns any old container into a tub of homemade wipes for your car's dashboard, console, and door panels. Costs pennies, never dries out, skips the mystery ingredients.
Servings: 1 batch (about 6-8 wipes)
Cost: $0.15
Equipment
- Small jar or spray bottle
- Old wipe tub or small food container
- 6-8 microfiber cloths
Ingredients
- 1 cup distilled water
- 2 to 3 drops Original Blue Dawn dish soap
- A few drops essential oil optional, for scent only
Instructions
- Combine the distilled water and Dawn in a clean jar or spray bottle. Add essential oil if using.
- Shake to combine.
- Fold 6 to 8 microfiber cloths and roll them into your empty container.
- Pour the solution over the cloths until damp, not dripping.
- Store in the car in a leak-proof spot.
Notes
This solution has no preservative, so mix a small batch and use it up within a couple of weeks rather than letting it sit for months. For UV protection or a conditioned finish, follow up with a dedicated automotive interior protectant a couple of times a year, this cleaner is for everyday wiping, not a full replacement.
